Must Visit Holiday Destinations for Casino Lovers

After 18 months of being deprived of travel, casino fans can finally start planning their next big trip for 2022. There is plenty of choice as well.

Whether you want to stay in the United States or turn your attention abroad, there is a casino resort to suit everyone.

For now, of course, we have to be content with something closer to home. If you are looking to try a new online casino, this list of the best US based casino sites is the ideal place to start your search.

After you have done that, it’s time to continue dreaming of your ideal casino holiday. Below, is a guide to some of the very best possibilities at your disposal!

Viva Las Vegas

Las Vegas is not known as the gambling capital of the world for nothing. The city plays host to some of the best casinos on the planet. What’s more, most of the top sites are located within a stone’s throw of each other.

This means you can dot between different establishments with ease during your trip. Most casinos have a hotel attached so you are never far away from the tables.

Wynn Las Vegas Casino

Wynn is the most luxurious casino resort in Sin City. Covering 215 acres in all, it features a massive casino, as well as a convention Center and plenty of retail space. It also comes with a staggering 4,748 rooms. This makes the Wynn the seventh largest hotel on the planet!

It is hard to overstate just how upmarket the resort is. It even features Las Vegas’ only golf course. If you are looking for the most opulent experience imaginable, you should go for one of the Tower Suites. These rooms come with their own private entrance and a Rolls Royce for you to use during your stay.

Wynn is so much more than a casino resort. Everything you could ever need is a short walk away.

Casino at Bellagio

Few casinos are renowned over the world like the Bellagio. If you want to combine art with your gambling, it could be the one for you. As well as possessing a world class casino with all the trimmings, the Bellagio also plays host to some legendary fine art.

In the past collections from Andy Warhol have even appeared at the resort. The main draw of the Bellagio, though, is the poker room. Many professional players refer to it as “The Office”, due to the amount of time they spend playing there. What makes it such a hit is its high limits and the wide array of tables on offer. There are often World Poker Tour events hosted there for these reasons.

Ellis Island Casino & Brewery

Ellis Island Casino & Brewery may not be as well-known as some of the other casinos in Las Vegas, but it is still worth a visit — particularly if you like drinking beer.

Widely considered the number one brewery in Nevada, Ellis Island offers six different beers all year round. As you are so close to the source every glass is fresh and most importantly, ice cold.

It’s not all about the beer, though. Ellis Island also offers 250 gaming machines with reel slots, video poker and keno all available. There are also plenty of table games open 24/7. It’s a good place to start off your trip before moving onto the bigger casinos.

The best of the rest

If you want to set your sights outside the United States, don’t worry. Below are some of the hottest casino spots around the world.

Casino de Ibiza, Spain

Ibiza is most commonly known for its pioneering nightclub. However, what you may not know is that the island also possesses one of Europe’s underrated casino resorts.

Casino de Ibiza is located just off the famous Golden Mile. It offers players incredible choice, featuring the latest generation of slot machines, as well as a more traditional games room. There is plenty of luxury to go around also, with delicious cocktails and exclusive suites easily secured.

Marina Bay Sands, Singapore

Marina Bay Sands features stunning architecture for all of its players. The standout piece is the casino’s beautiful infinity pool, which is one of the most splendid, man-made sights in all of Singapore.

Marina Bay Sands is not just a pretty face either. It is also well equipped with a world class casino. Over 2,300 slot machines can be played and those who prefer dealer games will find 500+ tables.

There are plenty of bonus features for visitors to enjoy as well. Marina Bay’s art gallery is a great addition, while its restaurants and bars are some of the country’s best.

The Venetian Macao Resort Hotel, China

The standout casino resort in China — and perhaps the world — is The Venetian Macao. It breaks many records including being the second largest casino and seventh biggest building in the world.

With so much space, you will not be surprised to hear that there is plenty for visitors to enjoy at the venue. An industry leading games room: tens of restaurants and bars and close to 3,000 suites are all included at the Venetian.

In the future there could be even more casino trips to Asia on the cards. Zhao Wei, the Chinese gambling magnate, is thinking of expanding his empire to Laos in the near future.
